No. Memory foam mattresses are not organic because the making of the foam includes man-made production. However, foam mattresses can be made to the standards of being eco-friendly and non-toxic. A CertiPUR-US® certification means that the foam mattress is free of toxic chemicals and meet their stringent regulations.

The short answer is no. Memory foam is a man-made, chemically-treated material that cannot meet the strict standards of organic certifications. Even the words “non-toxic” and “all-natural” are misleading. A company may add some natural elements into the foam, such as essential oils, but that doesn’t make the end product natural.

Organic latex foam mattresses come from the sap of tropical rubber trees. The organic latex is then baked into a unique foam, and the result feels like a wonderfully supportive, springy and soft sponge. This process creates an eco-friendly, natural mattress that differs from traditional memory foam or convoluted foam mattresses.
